Thanks for the review, there is a multimedia kit from Accurate Armour in 1/35, I have acquired one in a trade and it has white metal parts (wheels for instance) along with resin and possibly PE (can't remember for that).. AA have "retooled" some of their older kits to include more resin to replace the metal parts so this might be all resin nowadays.
*edited* Seems Accurate Armour have two kits available.

Both of the AA kits are all resin now (with a PE fret), the white metal bits are in the older original kits but Derek can sort you out with resin replacement parts. IIRC the only difference between the two is the cupola on the Mk-I and the peak turret on the Mk-II, aside from that the kits should be identical.
I built the Mk-I for the August issue of MMI, it's a fairly straight forward kit without a ton of parts.
